Happy Halloween!!!

I don’t know about you, but I had a lot of fun on this holiday growing up. My mom would help us find (or MAKE us) the COOLEST costumes, and we’d go around to friends, family, and neighbors’ houses say the magic phrase "Trick Or Treat!", smile, and get FREE CANDY! I remember sitting at home on our awesome burnt orange shag carpet (ok, maybe it wasn’t THAT bad) and sorting through all my candy and offering strategic trade proposals to my younger sister… hoping to come out with the greatest candy collection ever!

It wasn’t till much later in life that I found out that if you love God, you have to hate Halloween. Well, you know what … I almost NEVER do what I "HAVE" to do (or am excpected to do). I really don’t see a problem with the candy and fun part of halloween. Obviously the exalting of the gross, dark, evil side of life is something we should not ever be doing… but dressing up as our favorite superhero and walking around with our family getting to say hello to all our neighbors (and getting FREE candy!!!) …. how can that be bad?

How do you feel about this issue? If you feel strongly enough to let me know – e-mail me at the link to the left and I’ll post your replies on the blog page if I can.

So, till then…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🙂
